摘要:
A semiconductor fin suspended above a top surface of a semiconductor layer and supported by a gate structure is formed. An insulator layer is formed between the top surface of the semiconductor layer and the gate structure. A gate spacer is formed, and physically exposed portions of the semiconductor fin are removed by an anisotropic etch. Subsequently, physically exposed portions of the insulator layer can be etched with a taper. Alternately, a disposable spacer can be formed prior to an anisotropic etch of the insulator layer. The lateral distance between two openings in the dielectric layer across the gate structure is greater than the lateral distance between outer sidewalls of the gate spacers. Selective deposition of a semiconductor material can be performed to form raised active regions.
摘要:
Device structures for a fin-type field-effect transistor (FinFET) and methods for fabricating a device structure for a FinFET. A fin comprised of a semiconductor material having a first crystal structure is formed. A dielectric layer is formed that includes an opening aligned with the fin. A dummy gate structure is removed from the opening in the dielectric layer. After the dummy gate structure is removed, a section of the fin aligned with the opening is implanted with non-dopant ions to amorphize the first crystal structure of the semiconductor material of the fin. After the section of the fin is implanted, the section of the fin is annealed such that the semiconductor material in the section of the fin recrystallizes with a second crystal structure incorporating internal strain.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, by etching a region of an SOI substrate so that only a portion of the original semiconductor is present above the insulator layer. After etching has occurred, a different semiconductor material is grown in the etched region, and fins are formed. An isolation layer is deposited to a height above that the base semiconductor of the etched region.

A first gate structure and a second gate structure are formed over a semiconductor material layer. The first gate structure includes a planar silicon-based gate dielectric, a planar high-k gate dielectric, a metallic nitride portion, and a first semiconductor material portion, and the second gate structure includes a silicon-based dielectric material portion and a second semiconductor material portion. After formation of gate spacers and a planarization dielectric layer, the second gate structure is replaced with a transient gate structure including a chemical oxide portion and a second high-k gate dielectric. A work-function metal layer and a conductive material portion can be formed in each gate electrode by replacement of semiconductor material portions. A gate electrode includes the planar silicon-based gate dielectric, the planar high-k gate dielectric, and a U-shaped high-k gate dielectric, and another gate electrode includes the chemical oxide portion and another U-shaped high-k gate dielectric.
摘要:
A semiconductor memory device including a channel region and a ferromagnetic gate is provided. The channel region can be formed within a semiconductor nanowire. The ferromagnetic gate is programmed with a selected orientation of magnetization by the electrical current that passes through the channel region in one direction or another. The orientation of the magnetization in the ferromagnetic gate can be detected by changes in the threshold voltage of a field effect transistor employing the ferromagnetic gate as a gate electrode, or can be detected by the resistance of the channel region that changes with the orientation of the magnetization in a two terminal device.
